Concrete Garden Candles

Concrete Garden Candles was born out of a journey to rebuild and reimagine. My name is Char and I started the company in 2019 in my tiny apartment in Harlem, NY. After losing everything in a fire and walking away from a draining corporate career back in 2018, I realized how vital it was to not only work toward meaningful goals but to intentionally create moments of joy and connection along the way.

With a love for crafting instilled by my mom, I set out to share this balance of ambition and self-care with my community. I noticed how candles transformed even the smallest New York apartments into warm, comforting spaces. That inspired the heart of Concrete Garden—a blend of urban resilience (Concrete Jungle) and personal sanctuary (Secret Garden).

Eventually, I learned how to craft with concrete which led to our line of concrete decor products. Crafting with concrete felt like the perfect metaphor: its raw beauty and imperfections remind us that life’s journey is just as meaningful as the destination.

My hope is that each piece we create brings you not only style and comfort but also a sense of empowerment to design a life you love on your terms.
